Recipe Notes

 
Quick Method to make khoya/Mawa at home:
 
  • Take a pan and add 1 litre whole milk and bring it to boiling point.
  • Lower the flame and continue to boil. Keep stirring so that it does not stick to the pan.
  • Stir vigorously when milk starts to thicken. Khoya is ready when the milk stops simmering and its completely dry. Transfer it into a bowl and keep it aside to cool.
